This is a C++ program that uses Telnet to send commands and libpcap to sniff network packets. It’s designed for high-speed packet sniffing and sending commands via Telnet.

- Connects to a Telnet server and sends commands.
- Sniffs packets on a specified network interface.
- Handles asynchronous packet capturing using
libpcap.
- C++17
libpcaplibrary- Network interface access permissions (for packet sniffing)
-
Install libpcap (if not already installed):
sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get install libpcap-dev
-
Clone the Repository:
git clone https://github.com/yourusername/telnet_sniffer.git cd telnet_sniffer -
Compile the Program:
mkdir -p dist g++ main.cpp -std=c++17 -o dist/telnet_sniffer -lpcap
-
Run the Program:
sudo ./dist/telnet_sniffer
-
Install libpcap (if needed): macOS usually comes with
libpcappre-installed. If needed, you can install it with Homebrew:brew install libpcap
-
Clone the Repository:
git clone https://github.com/yourusername/telnet_sniffer.git cd telnet_sniffer -
Compile the Program:
mkdir -p dist g++ main.cpp -std=c++17 -o dist/telnet_sniffer -lpcap
-
Run the Program:
sudo ./dist/telnet_sniffer
When you run the program, you’ll be able to:
- Enter Telnet commands that will be sent to the specified server.
- See captured packet details in the terminal when packets are sniffed on the specified interface.
- Root Permissions: You may need root privileges to access network interfaces for packet sniffing. Run the program with
sudoif required. - Network Permissions on macOS: Ensure your terminal application has network access permissions under
